      Nobody says huitante in Belgium.

      It’s 60, 70, 4*20, 90.

      edit: Downvote all you want. If you say huitante in Belgium, everyone will know you’re not from Belgium.

      Belgians say Soixante, Septante, Quatre-vingt, Nonante. Even in the dutch language part, that’s how they learn french.

      If you say Soixante-dix or Quatre-vingt-dix, everyone will know you’re french and not Belgian. Pretty simple…

          No, we use quatre-vignt dix (4x20+10), just like the French. If anyone is using octante or huitante, it is not common parlance to say the least.

            You mean quatre-vingt, not quatre-vingt-dix right?
